New rear tires causing DSC to go off?

I recently replaced my rear tires with a pair of Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 2. The fronts are still the previous version Goodyear F1 Asymmetrics. On sweeping freeway onramp and offramps, DSC kicks in very very early, causing the car to understeer pretty dramatically.

Now before anyone says "the tires need to be broken in", there tires have well over 500 miles AND I can't even break them loose on hard corners stomping on the accelerator, so I'm very confident that they have plenty of grip.

From what I've read, it seems like the rear tires are probably bigger than the fronts, resulting in the car thinking the rotational speed between the front and rears are off, causing the DSC to kick in. Assuming that's the case, is there any way to reset the sensor associated with the DSC? My front's still have about 40% tread, so I don't really want to replace them.
